I am proud that from the first day of each lockdown staff taught pupils on line their full timetable and finished all of the examination syllabuses. The girls responded by producing excellent work and always went the extra mile. The girls have had superb pastoral care, an outstanding range of extra-curricular opportunities and have built friendships that will last them a lifetime. I am extremely proud of the achievements of all the girls. They have worked so hard over seven long years and been a real pleasure to teach. It is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of all the pupils, staff, governors and parents.”
